January 9, 2019 — Tappx has partnered with Pixalate in order to offer advanced invalid traffic (“IVT”) detection technology for its over-the-top (OTT) services. The global Tappx solutions, which will be enhanced by Pixalate technology, includes ‘Ad-Replacement’ services for digital TV, ‘Dynamic Ad Insertions’ (DAI), digital TV ad time slot detection and insertion of programmatic video ads, and ‘Addressable TV’ ads, which deliver targeted and personalized ads based on TV user interests.

Traditionally speaking, OTT was a “secure environment” typically set within the parameters of ‘digital commercial sales’ and championed by larger broadcasters and publishers. However, OTT has evolved over the years. There is a growing number of viral content platforms appearing each day across an ever-expanding app ecosystem. OTT advertising spend continues to grow at a rapid pace — Magna projects a 40% jump in 2018 — but the fragmented ecosystem has opened the door for fraudulent activity.

“Marketers have expressed concerns over inventory quality and ad fraud in OTT, and our industry-first MRC accreditation directly addresses those challenges. OTT advertising is rapidly expanding, and as the industry’s first solution for ad fraud detection and prevention in OTT, Pixalate is ready to guard the growing investments,” says Jalal Nasir, Pixalate CEO.

Pixalate is the only cross-platform fraud intelligence company that works with brands and platforms to prevent invalid traffic and improve ad inventory quality. We offer the only system of coordinated solutions across desktop, mobile web, mobile in-app, and OTT for better detection, diagnosis, and elimination of ad fraud. Pixalate is an MRC-accredited service for the detection and prevention of sophisticated invalid traffic (SIVT) across desktop and mobile web, mobile in-app, and OTT advertising. www.pixalate.com
